First you establish your order of trust as:
1. Government
2. For-profit-corporations
Then you acknowledge that your actual practisting order of trust is:
1. Your gut (why is "the entire schedule frankly insane"?)
2. European Governments
3. Your American Government
The later ranking is not justified at all by your early statements.
If you trust governments better than corporations as a matter of choice, fine. It may actually be a sensible choice in this bullshit world. If you trust your gut more than governments fine, it may also be a sensible choice, even.
However, be consistent, and realize your biases.
